Mining Equipment Finance

Mining Equipment Finance for Resources & Heavy Industry

Mining equipment can represent a major capital investment for businesses operating across resources, quarrying, civil works and heavy industry.

At My Finance Consultants, we compare mining equipment finance across a broad range of specialist equipment lenders.

We help businesses finance new and used mining equipment with structures designed around the asset, business cash flow and operating requirements.

What Mining Equipment Can Be Financed?

Finance is available for a broad range of eligible mining and heavy-industry equipment.

This can include excavators, bulldozers, loaders, haulage equipment, cranes and other specialised plant.

Dealer purchases generally provide the widest lender choice.

Private-sale and selected auction purchases may also be considered, subject to lender requirements and asset verification.

The equipment's age, condition, operating hours, purchase price and intended use can affect the available finance terms.

Mining Equipment Finance Options

Chattel Mortgage

A chattel mortgage is commonly used where your business wants to purchase and own the equipment.

The lender provides funds towards the purchase while registering security over the financed asset.

Repayments are then made over an agreed term.

Balloon Payments

Selected lenders allow a balloon payment to remain at the end of the finance term.

This can reduce regular repayments and help preserve working capital.

A larger balloon also leaves a larger final amount to repay or refinance.

We compare different repayment structures before you proceed.

Multiple Equipment & Fleet Finance

Mining and resources businesses may need to finance several assets within the same expansion or replacement program.

Selected lenders can structure finance across multiple pieces of eligible equipment.

The lender will assess the total purchase price, existing debt and your ability to service the combined repayments.

New, Used & Specialised Mining Equipment

Both new and used mining equipment can be financed.

Used assets may be subject to maximum age requirements, shorter loan terms or additional valuation requirements.

Highly specialised machinery can attract different lending conditions because of its narrower resale market.

Private-sale and auction equipment may also be financed with selected lenders.

Additional checks can be required to confirm ownership, serial numbers, specifications and asset value.

Contracts & Business Cash Flow

Mining and resources businesses can operate under long-term contracts, project work or variable utilisation.

Selected lenders may consider existing contracts and recurring business income when assessing the application.

The lender will still review the sustainability of the business and its ability to meet the proposed repayments.

A new contract does not automatically guarantee equipment finance.

We assess the contract, equipment purchase and overall financial position before selecting a lender.

What Lenders Consider

The lender will assess both your business and the mining equipment being financed.

This can include your trading history, existing liabilities, credit profile and repayment capacity.

Your industry experience and equipment utilisation may also be relevant.

For larger transactions, lenders may request financial statements, tax returns and details of current contracts.

The equipment's age, condition, manufacturer and resale value can also influence the available finance terms.
